Weston Dressler receiving interest from the NFL

CFL free agency is still a few months away, but the future of some Riders is
already becoming a hot topic.

Specifically the future of receiver Weston Dressler and running back Kory
Sheets in the NFL. Both were made available to the media on Wednesday after they
were named CFL All-Stars. Not surprisingly, the topic of heading down south came
up.

For Dressler it sounds like something is currently in the works.

"We started with those talks, hopefully by the end I'm planning on having
some work-outs lined up," said Dressler. "At that point it's just waiting on the
work-out."

Dressler isn't allowed to speak about which NFL teams he could
be working out with in the coming weeks, but he did indicate that there are a
few different teams that have expressed different levels of interest.

"There's a few that just seem like talks, and a few that seem very
interested," he said.

It's hard to say where this could go for Dressler, but he's
certainly not closing any doors when it comes to his options in the NFL or the
CFL. One thing is for sure, he'll be in Regina the entire off-season trying to
figure out his future.

The picture down south isn't as clear for Sheets, as he hasn't really heard
anything just yet.

"Not that I know," he said. "I haven't talked to my agent, I've been real
busy just trying to pack up the house and make sure everything is finalized
before I left."

Sheets understands it's a bit of a waiting game this time of year
as a number of teams are still focused on making a run to the playoffs and
perhaps the Super Bowl. So for now, he'll wait.

Sheets does remain clear that if he comes back to the CFL he wants to remain
in green and white.

"That's never going to change, nobody have (sic) to worry, if I return back to the
CFL, I will be a Roughrider," said Sheets.

Sheets was also asked about potentially being left unprotected in the
upcoming Ottawa expansion draft. As a free agentm if he was selected by Ottawa, would he would talk to them?

"Not at all," said Sheets with a laugh. "I'm a Roughrider through
and through. You don't have to worry about me talking to another team."

Like the players, we'll also have to wait and see what their future
brings.
